ASA 9.x support PBR?

Hi Cisco Soldiers,
I'd like to know if the new version for ASAs (9.x) support PBR (Policy-Based Routing).
Regards
Alek

Hi,
No, PBR is not officially supported on the ASA.
The only way to achieve something like that is to play around with the NAT. Even though it usually works, as its not officially supported (atleast yet) theres naturally always a risk that it stops working because of some change.
I have tried this for example in a situation where the user had 2 ISP links and wanted one DMZ network to use the other ISP for all outbound connections while the rest used the other ISP.

  • New ASA generation support PBR or no & ISPs links redundancy

    Please i need to know if the cisco ASA next generation specially ASA 5515X support PBR or no
    If yes please tell me how to implement it , and if no then what is the solution here (any solution if possible please)??????
    Also if i have many internet connections and i need to dedicate 2 ISP’s ADSL internet lines to certain service (such as mail) if the 1st fail, so the 2nd line come up to make redundancy with it ----------- Is this available on cisco ASA next generation, please if yes provide me how to implement it or give me any configuration example.

    Hi,
    To my understanding there is still no official support for PBR on the ASA.
    When I was at Cisco Live! 2013 London, they talked about PBR in one session and told it might be coming. On the other hand I heard from elsewhere that its not currently in the plans for ASA. I am not really sure what to believe.
    To this date all the solutions related to dividing traffic between different ISP links has had something to do with NAT configurations on the ASA.
    I have actually tested a setup on the original ASA5500 series devices with new software and have been able to select the outgoing interfaces of the traffic based on the source address using NAT. I have not implemented this in production environment as I dont know what will happen to it when I next upgrade the device maybe. I rather used methods that are officially supported than rig something to production network.
    I am not sure exactly what kind of setup you are trying to implement. Using  a 2 ISP setup where only 1 ISP link is active at a time is pretty basic I suppose. There you track the main ISP link and when it fails you move traffic to use the Secondary ISP.
    When we implement Dual ISP setups for our customers we naturally have both links connected to our network in separate parts of the core network. Therefore the customer can keep the same public IP address space through both links. Though naturally in these cases the routers in front of the ASAs handle the Primary and Secondary connection routing and not any Cisco firewall. I have never configured an 2 ISP solution using ASA directly in a production enviroment. Its always been handled by the routers in front of the ASA.
    So to answer in short, you should be able to configure a Dual ISP setup where 1 of the links is Active on pretty much any ASA model. To my understanding the ASA5505 is perhaps the only limitation but I am not 100% sure.
    Here is one (old) basic configuration guide for Dual ISP setup with PIX/ASA
    Naturally the NAT configuration format is different but it doesnt really play a big role in this setup

  • Question of my asa if it support anyconnect vpn

    does my asa current license support using cisco any connect
    or
    easy  vpn cisco ??
    http://www9.0zz0.com/2014/03/04/11/979253014.png

    CSCO,
    Looks like you have an ASA 5505. Usually you can have up to 2 Anyconnect peers unless you specifically purchase more.
    I'm not sure aout Easy VPN though.

  • Is ASA 5550 firewall supports BGP

    Hi All,
    Please help me out regarding my question.
    Thank you all in advance.
    Regards,
    Sayak

    Hello Sayak,
    The ASA does not support BGP. Border Gateway Protocol. BGP performs interdomain routing in TCP/IP networks. BGP is an Exterior Gateway Protocol, which means that it performs routing between multiple autonomous systems or domains and exchanges routing and access information with other BGP systems.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/configuration/guide/glossary.htmlhttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa90/configuration/guide/glossary.html
    ASA allows passing of BGP sessions through it but just only that. It’s being discussed that it will be supported in the future but there’s no definite date yet.

  • Does the Cat3750 EMI support PBR with multiple tracking option

    I tested with 122-25.SEB3, I could create route-map with tracking option but I could't apply it to the interface. the error message shown "PLATFORM_PBR-3-UNSUPPORTED_RMAP"
    Does it mean I can't put the multiple tracking route-map to the interface.
    Since I could create route-map with tracking option but I can't apply it to the interface. So I wonder if I need any other command to make it work or it just doesn't support on 3750 platform.

    Yes, I'm already done with SDM. I can configure PBR with simple route-map on this box but I can't configure(apply) PBR with the route-map with tracking nexthop option on this box.
    Thanks for your suggestion.

  • How many IPSec Tunnels an ASA 5500 series supports

    Hi All,
    I tried looking in ASA documentations but unable to find out that how many IPSec Tunnels can be terminated to an ASA cluster. I have 5545 running only two IPSec Tunnels so far but need to terminate 18 sites all up and would like to confirm how many tunnels we could terminate? Is there a limitaion to it?
    Thanks heaps
    Shan               

    Yes, there is a limit. But its far away from your requirement. On the 5545-X you can terminate 2500 VPN-Peers:

  • Asa in active/active vpn solution licensing question

    Hello All
    I have a customer with the following requirements:
    1) A Cisco VPN Solution that will be support SSL VPN and Cisco Client VPN - The  solution will be a failover configuration running in an active-active set up.  The solution offered will be fully supported (i.e. it will not go into End of  Life or and lower level of support etc) by Cisco for the next 5 Years.
    a. We  would expect the devices to be similar to the ASA 5520 Appliance with  SW,HA,$GE+1FE,£DES/AES (Including ASA 5500 Advanced Endpoint ASS)
    2) User  licenses for the above - Please quote for both the following
    a. 500 appropriate SSL VPN User Licenses
    b. 250  appropriate SSL VPN User Licenses
    I am quoting them for the 500 ssl vpn bundle
    ASA5520-SSL500-K9 and for the
    ASA5520-BUN-K9.
    Is it right that in active/active  software 8.3 and above that the 500 ssl vpn licenses will be shared between the 2 asa's or will I need to have 250 licenses on each asa.
    Also I have read that in active/active I cannot use shared licenses, is this relevant in a vpn solution?
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/license/license_management/license_86.html#wp2003381
    Url above has this “The  backup server mechanism is separate from, but compatible with,  failover.
    Shared  licenses are supported only in single context mode, so Active/Active failover is  not supported.”
    Also “Failover  Guidelines
    •Shared licenses are not supported in Active/Active mode. See the "Failover  and Shared Licenses" section for more  information.
    I also need to purchase the
    ASA-ADV-END-SEC and
    ASA-AC-M-5520 (any connect mobile) as the vpn client is eos/eol.
    Do I need to buy this for both asa's or can they share them in active/active mode.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Vibhor and thanks for the quick reply. We will be using version 9.3. I was aware that the ASA does not support PBR but I thought with the new code you could do some policy nat that could help influence the outbound flow?
    So in this case we have 2x ISPs and 2x public address space, one from each ISP. How is the NAT and routing handled by the ASA in this design?
    Can I not identify the guest subnet (192.168.0.0/22) and NAT this to a public address from ISP1 and also identify the corp subnets (10.x.x.x)  and NAT them to ISP2?
    My understanding (which is probably wrong) is that the NAT will select the egress interface rather than the routing table, so guest will be sent via ISP1 since the SVI interface of the ASA that connects to this ISP1 has an IP address from the same public address space..?
    Is that incorrect?
    Many thanks

  • Policy base routing in asa

    hi 
    i attach picture
    i want answer to any user from the same router
    example :
    request user1 from isp1 , i answer it from same isp1 router
    i think asa dose not support pbr ,, please help me with same senario .

    policy-based routing, similar to what an IOS router can do  based on incoming traffic and then overriding the routing table for the next hop, isn't a feature in the ASA.
    We can do policy based NAT, inspection and filtering, but not policy based routing.

  • Static NAT entry disappears when using NVI on Cisco 1921 (Multiple versions)

    We have a Cisco 1921 as an IPSec tunnel endpoint where we assign static NAT entries. It is a static one-to-one NAT putting each remote endpoint as a local /24 subnet. We are using NVI and we see some of these static entries disappear when packets are unable to reach the destination. 
    The production router is running 15.0(1r)M16 but we were able to reproduce this same behavior on 15.4(1)T2.
    To reproduce, we add the static NVI entry:
    ip nat source static X.X.X.X 172.30.250.11
    And things look good for a bit:
    ROUTER# sh ip nat nvi trans | i 172.30.250.11
    gre 172.30.250.11:0 X.X.X>X:0 Y.Y.Y.Y:0 Y.Y.Y.Y:0
    --- 172.30.250.11 138.54.32.9 --- ---
    tcp Y.Y.Y.Y:60360 Z.Z.Z.Z:60360 172.30.250.11:22 X.X.X.X:22
    There is a known issue with GRE traffic being dropped at this particular endpoint, so after generating GRE traffic, the entry completely disappears:
    ROUTER# sh run | i 172.30.250.11
    ROUTER#
    ROUTER# sh ip nat nvi trans | i 172.30.250.11
    gre 172.30.250.11:0 X.X.X>X:0 Y.Y.Y.Y:0 Y.Y.Y.Y:0
    icmp Y.Y.Y.Y:59916 Z.Z.Z.Z:59916 172.30.250.11:59916 172.30.250.11:59916
    tcp Y.Y.Y.Y:60360 Z.Z.Z.Z:60360 172.30.250.11:22 X.X.X.X:22
    I can reproduce this by severing the tunnel to any other remote site, and after generating GRE traffic to the downed endpoint, the corresponding static NAT entry will disappear.
    Debugging has not shown anything, and I have found some mentions of similar behavior on older versions. Has anyone seen this? We don't have support access to test all versions, so if it is known to be resolved in a particular one, we would love to know to work towards loading that version.
    Thanks

    Hi Ryan,
    Asa cannot ahve 2 default routes, it can only have one. ASA also doesnt support PBR, so the setup that you are trying to configure would not work on the ASA. Router is the correct option for it.
    Hope that helps.

  • Forwarding Traffic based on Domain name(Google).

    Hello ,
    Please let me know if this is possible.
    I have a asa5520 firewall with 8.2 version.I have two ISP's coming into my firewall for Internet. Currently I am forwarding all my traffic to one of the ISP. I would like to forward only traffic to Google to the second ISP. The reason I am trying to do this is Google reports my primary IP. The message users get is "
    When Google detects that a computer or phone on your network may be sending automated traffic to Google we may show the following message: "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network." after this message users will have to enter a captcha code.
    This is an intermittent issue. I would like to test it by forwarding only google traffic to my second ISP. I cannot forward all the traffic to my secondary IPS the reason is I am having site to site tunnels going on my default primary route and If I do it all my tunnels would go down.
    Any help regarding this issue or workaround would be appreciated.
    OR if I can actually find an IP/user on my inside network which is generating hight traffic to google which is resulting in entering the captcha code and sometimes opening multiple tabs. or if I can ratelimit to allow fixed number of connections to google.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    First of all the ASA does not support PBR so thats our first wall.
    There are some tweaks that we could do with NAT but that would be based on the destination IP address. In this case you will be trying to do the NAT based on the FQDN which does not work.
    You will need to determine all of the IP address of google (I know..I know ) and then configure the NAT policies to tweak the Firewall behavior.
    How does this sound to you?

  • Redirecting http traffic to the proxy server

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to divert web traffic to blue coat proxy through firewall. Below is the setup
    Requirement:
    We need to divert web traffic from 10.20.200.0/23 [DMZ-STAFFNET] and point it to Bluecoat proxy to process the packets.
    Now that ASA doesn't support PBR to accomplish this, how can we accomplish this ? 

    Hi,
    To list one limitation that you might see in your scenario , You would only be able to redirect the subnets to the proxy from those subnets which are physically behind the interface where the WCCP server resides only. i.e. UNTRUST
    Now , talking about the NAT , why don't you try this NAT if you don't want to NAT the Source part of the Traffic:-
    (DMZ-STAFFNET) to (bluecoat) source static DMZ-STAFFNET DMZ-STAFFNET destination static internet proxy-server service original-http proxy-8080
    Also , ASA now supports Policy Based routing from ASA 9.4.1 :)

  • Configure SA520 firewall for 2 ISP (cable & ADSL)

    hi
    Is it possible and howto configure Cisco SA520 firewall for 2 ISP (cable & ADSL) to get load balancing between these ISP?
    THX

    Hello,
    Load-balancing is not suported as the ASA does not supports PBR. You can  try to do some work-arounds to send some traffic from one link but this is not cisco supported. I have seen scenarios about this working so if you really need it you can give it a try.

  • PBR Multiple Tracking Support information for Cat2960

                      Hello
    I have been investigating for PBR multiple tracking support devices specially Catalyst 2960.
    The following is very similar to this information. However it can not be applicable to Cat2960.
    [PBR Support for Multiple Tracking Options]
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/iproute_pi/configuration/guide/iri_prb_mult_track_external_docbase_0900e4b1810fe379_4container_external_docbase_0900e4b181525fed.html#wp1056119
    But feature navigator can show the following information of this feature.
    [Feature Navigator for Cat2960]
    PBR Support for Multiple Tracking Options
    IOS:12.2(55)SE1
    Feature-Set:LAB-Base
    You can find it by using the research feature and filter by PBR.
    So which is correct ?
    Basically Cat2960 can not support PBR or there is any related information based on the feature navigator's info.
    Any information would be very helpful.
    Thank you very much and Best Regards,

    Hello Julio
    Thank you for your precious information!
    In my understanding it is conclution that the Catalyst 2960 & 2960S series
    basically do not support for PBR. So PBR multiple tracking also do not support right?
    Here is the output of Cat2960 and 3750X
